In the second half of the night, it was also the dead of night outside, and it was almost impossible to see people walking on the road, only a little candlelight flickering brightly.But because everyone was still asleep, the whole street was strangely quiet.However, even this quietness always gives people a very unreal, even frightening feeling.Jin Tong and the others are naturally very aware of this, maybe in this Tianji City, a very big event will happen!
It's just that it is unknown how many people will be involved in this time, or how many forces will be involved.Because the goal of the twenty-four people is too big, it is impossible to set off together, so as not to expose their whereabouts.Therefore, it was up to Shen Kuo to bring everyone to the designated place again and again.It took four trips back and forth to bring everyone together.It's a fairly remote place, surrounded by some low mountains with trees that make it difficult to see a lot.In addition, it is already night, and it is the second half of the night, and the sky is also dark and linen, if it weren't for the moonlight, everyone would really be out of sight.After all, you can't use anything that can be seen in the light, so naturally you have to get very close to it so as not to be found or lost.And the twenty-four people were also gathered together, and Shen Kuo didn't want to speak loudly, but said softly: "Let's see if there are fewer people, take a look at each other, if there are no fewer people, we will enter the secret passage now."
I'll go and communicate with Shangguan Xiao first, at the moment he is hiding, if there is no specific code, he will not appear. ”After speaking, Shen Kuo came to a boulder, groped on it with his hand, and then found a groove, opened it, and whispered a few words, and finally the stone trembled, and opened a crack from the middle.A crack that was one person wide, and Shangguan Xiao also walked out of it."
Steward Xiao, everyone has arrived, we can go to Shangguan's house now.Don't know if there's anything else to look out for?
Say it in advance, and there won't be any problems. ”Shen Kuo opened his mouth and said to Shangguan Xiao.Shangguan Xiao looked at Shen Kuo, then at the people behind Shen Kuo, and finally nodded slowly and said, "Well, since everyone is here, then let's go in quickly, so as not to be discovered, after all, it has been an eventful time recently, and I can't say if anyone will find out here."
Let's go, let's talk about it after we go in, and when we get to Shangguan's house, the old man will give me orders. ”After saying that, Shangguan Xiao turned around and walked in directly, and when he walked in, everyone entered the secret passage one by one.Because the entrance to this secret passage was very small, only about one person wide, and it took a little time to wait until twenty-four people entered.But after entering, the space inside is much larger, at least five people can walk side by side, and twenty-four people can also get close together.This secret passage is very long, at least that's how the golden pupil feels, and it's intricate.If you don't have someone to lead the way, or if you are very familiar with this secret passage, you will definitely get lost!
After all, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, as the Shangguan family, how could they not take this into account?
Naturally, the secret passage was arranged very tortuously, and even if he knew the entrance, he would not be able to reach the Shangguan family well.Unless, there are traitors from the Shangguan family, or there are drawings, it is possible to reach the Shangguan family.But very few people know this secret way, and it is absolutely impossible to know it except for those who are very close to them.Jin Tong and the others walked for about an hour, and when they came to the end, they saw Shangguan Xiao stop, and everyone stopped to look at him.Shangguan Xiao took out a copper key, the key was very large, and it looked very peculiar, and then walked to a door, which was a stone door.There is also a small hole in the center of the top, which obviously requires a key to open.Shangguan Xiao took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, twisted it a few times, and then took a few steps back.After a few breaths, the entire stone door began to tremble, and after a few changes, it slowly opened.There was also a light shot out of it, and it was quite dazzling for a while.After all, in the secret passage at that time, although there was candlelight, it was also very dim, and this light curtain was obviously very bright, so everyone also squinted their eyes slightly.After getting used to it, I saw that it was a room, a very bright room.The room was guarded, and it could be seen that it was a very elite subordinate, so as not to have any enemies come out of it.Seeing that it was Shangguan Xiao, these people also put down the blades in their hands.One of the people who took the lead walked over and arched his hand at Shangguan Xiao and said, "Steward Xiao, are you back?"
Are these the helpers for this mission?
But isn't this strength weaker?
If the enemy is too strong, wouldn't it?
”"Okay, these are not the places you have to consider, since the organization sent people over, it must be considered.Naturally, people will not be sent to death, since this is done, there must be a purpose.You just have to do your own thing, it's not what you need to think about.The old man will take them to the master of the house, and you will continue to wait here, and do not neglect it. ”Shangguan Xiao said with an unchanged face.Everyone nodded and didn't dare to say more nonsense, and then Shangguan Xiao also left the room with Jin Tong and the others and came outside, because it was night outside, but fortunately, it was also in a big family, so the lights were still very bright, which was naturally different from the street outside.There are also patrols on the road from time to time, and every point will be guarded.It can be seen that the guard is very high, or rather, very solemn."
Looks like things haven't been going well lately.Steward Xiao, are you so vigilant on weekdays?
”Shen Kuo couldn't help but ask because he had been following Shangguan Xiao's side."
Of course, it wasn't so exaggerated before, but because of some recent circumstances, it was so.If we don't, we can't afford to wait for anything to go wrong. ”Shangguan Xiao explained slowly."
This, indeed, if it were such a simple trifle.The organization won't send us over, but because of this, I'm a little curious why the organization would issue such a task, depending on the strength of the official family, it shouldn't need us people with low strength.Although there is a reason why it is not good to shoot in person, but it is too much, right?
”Shen Kuo still asked the doubts in his heart.After all, he had always been a little skeptical about this, but he didn't want to ask the organization.
